ARP

Syntax

arp A.B.C.D MAC

Parameters

A.B.C.D

Indicates an IP address in the following format:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

MAC

Indicates a MAC address in the following format:

HHHH.HHHH.HHHH

Description

Use the ARP command to set an IP address for the Address Resolution
Protocol.

The switch has an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table for storing IP
addresses of network devices and their corresponding MAC addresses.
The switch uses the table when you issue a management command that
requires the switch’s AT-S83 management software to interact with
another device on the network. An example of an interaction is when you
instruct the switch to ping other network devices.

To clear an IP address from the ARP table, use the CLEAR ARP-CACHE
command to clear dynamic IP addresses.

Command Mode

Configuration Terminal mode

Example

The following commands add an IP address of 142.245.22.22 to the ARP
table:

switch#configure terminal

switch(config)#arp 142.245.22.22
